Filter by:The study is being conducted to understand if the hemoglobin A1c, a measurement of control of blood sugars over a 3-month time, is valid in patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) in place. To understand whether it is an adequate measurement, the investigators will compare the A1c to results from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) measurement of blood sugars. By monitoring blood sugars continuously, the investigators will also assess whether they can get better control of blood sugars with a CGM, including avoiding low blood sugars.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of CKD is increasing worldwide and is assumed to also dramatically increase in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Key shortcomings of available data on CKD in SSA are as follows: (i) Available data are based on single measurements and, therefore, cannot distinguish between harmless transient deterioration in kidney function and chronic kidney damage; (ii) Accurate information regarding renal protein loss, an important and early marker of kidney disease, is lacking; (iii) Cardiovascular risk factors for CKD, such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes, are often not searched for. Likewise non-classic potential risk factors, such as endemic infectious diseases, socioeconomic status and lifestyle have not been consistently recorded; (iv) Information to interrogate linked interaction over time between risk factors and development of CKD is unavailable. With this project, situated in a region representative of semi-rural SSA, we aim to fill this knowledge gap and (i) establish guideline conform prevalence data of CKD and its major cardiovascular risk factors, as well as (ii) prospectively define the incidence of cardiovascular- and non-classic risk factors of CKD. The data from (i) and (ii) is used to develop predictive models. A prospective cohort of 1200 individuals in a primary care facility will serve as study population. The population is representing a society in transition from rural to more urban lifestyle. In the pilot study, participants will be followed for one years and undergo the clinical and biomedical testing required to capture CKD and its classic and non-classic risk factors over time.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the Cambridge Medical Technologies, LLC second generation (2nd Gen) LabPatch glucose sensing system compared to a laboratory glucose analyzer (YSI 2300 STAT Plus) and 2 commercial glucometers, OneTouch Verio and Freestyle Lite. The primary endpoint of this study is the mean absolute relative difference (MARD) for 2nd Gen LabPatch system compared to each of the above mentioned glucose references over a 6 hour outpatient visit.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly, and type 2 diabetes (T2D). In people with T2D, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin or does not use the insulin well enough. Insulin's role is to regulate the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Too much blood sugar can cause damage to the kidneys over time. Consequently, CKD can happen as one of the complications of T2D. The study treatment finerenone works by blocking a group of proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptor. An increased stimulation of the mineralocorticoid receptor is known to trigger injury and inflammation in the kidney and is therefore thought to play a role in CKD. Finerenone is already available in several countries for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD and T2D. In addition, it was recently approved in India with a request to specifically gather information on finerenone therapy in Indians. The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe finerenone is in Indian people with CKD and T2D. For this, the researchers will count the number of participants who have: - medical problems after taking finerenone - abnormal high levels of potassium in the blood (called hyperkalemia). Researcher will also count the number of participants in whom hyperkalemia: - leads to stop of finerenone treatment - requires treatment to filter wastes and water from the blood - leads to a hospital stay. Doctors keep track of all medical problems that happen in studies, even if they do not think the medical problems might be related to the study treatments. In addition, the study team will collect more data about how well finerenone works in Indian people with CKD and T2D under real world setting. Working well means that the treatment can prevent the following from happening: - reduced kidney function over a period of at least 4 weeks - death from renal problems - death due to conditions affecting the heart and blood circulation - heart attack (blocked blood flow to the heart) - hospital stay due to a condition which occurs when the heart does not pump blood as well as it should - changes of the albumin and creatinine levels in urine. The participants will be in the study for approximately 20 months. They will take the study treatment once daily as a tablet by mouth for 18 months. In the study, 9 visits to the study site are planned. During the study, the study team will: - take blood and urine samples - do physical examinations - check the participants' overall health - do pregnancy tests - examine heart health using electrocardiogram ECG - check vital signs. About 30 days after the participants take their last treatment, the study doctors and their team will check worsening of reported underlying diseases: - damage to the blood vessels in the tissue of the retina at the back of the eye, as a result of diabetes mellitus - a long-term condition where the heart does not pump blood as well as it should with symptoms such as shortness of breath, tiredness and ankle swelling - heart attack (blocked blood flow to the heart) - death due to conditions affecting the heart and blood circulation or - hospital stay.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of INS068 once daily (QD) in subjects with type 2 diabetes not adequately controlled with basal insulin compared to insulin Glargine QD for 26weeks.
The global rise in the prevalence of obesity paved the way for the increased prevalence of yet another obesity-related complication significant enough to be considered within the roster of major public health threats: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this follow-up study, the investigators will attempt to decipher the natural history of hepatic steatosis among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using state-of-the-art methods in a well-characterized Saudi cohort. The investigators aim also to validate existing biomarkers of disease severity and explore the pathogenesis of progressive disease using metabolic profiling technologies. A total of 1000 adult Saudi patients (males and females) with T2DM will be recruited. Those with co-morbidities, including hepatic decompensation, will be excluded. Participants will be followed three times for a total of 10 years/patient (Year 2, Year 5, and Year 10), and measures such as dietary evaluations, anthropometrics, and urine, stool, and blood examinations will be performed. Patients who develop NAFLD will be noted, and patterns/changes in the metabolic profile will be examined. For this specific grant (the first 2 years of the whole project), the investigators will be able to recruit the study cohort, do the baseline anthropometric, imaging, and biochemical measurements, and report the prevalence of NAFLD among patients with T2DM. This information will be the basis of subsequent follow-up and allow for validating potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. This project will be of high importance at the national level since it will create awareness in the local medical community of the current severity status of NAFLD in the kingdom and will be used as a tool to promote public health awareness in the community.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus, which is characterised by a combination of insulin resistance and insufficient insulin secretion is a major contributor to the burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide. the mitochondrial genome contains multiple copies per cell. Because of its close proximity with higher levels of reactive oxidative species, mitochondrial DNA is prone to oxidative stress; which may lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by lowered oxidative capacity and reduction in energy production. Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with aging process and can affect cellular functions and thereby results in a variety of human diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and metabolic syndrome . Telomere length reflects the cumulative damage from those exposure factors and can be used as a potential indicator of biological aging. Shorter telomere length has been linked to the development of a variety of age-related diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes
